Go sign Aleksej Pokuševski

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

He was just waived by OKC. 7' center with play making ability and can shoot some. Only 22 years old. Let's develop him.

Okay with the idea of signing him to see if has improved. But he isn’t a center.

Yeah his size is what has been his problem. Super skinny.

Yeah I think he’s headed Euro league. RIP Poku

No way. He's nowhere near Euroleague quality.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Poku shot 33% from the G-League in his career. He is just bad. Not worth a look. His head is half his height.

If we sign him whose minutes does he get? We have four or five guys that aren't playing at the moment.

 

[Tanktastic]

Please don't. The idea of him is tempting, but he's not even the homeless man's Chet.

 

[MT Steve]

I'd rather we target actual NBA-caliber players.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

Minimum contract to see what he has got. Maybe witha team option for next year.

 

[TheGoldStandard]

He showed some flashes as a rookie but has not panned out at all. Still a minimum contract gamble would not be a horrible idea. The Jazz definitely have worse players on the roster.

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

Signing him would be a low risk move, bc he won't cost much more than minimum. If they think, he can be developed, go for it.

The monetary cost doesn't matter. If you sign him, the only way to develop him is to play him. The cost of playing Poku any minutes ahead of Hendricks or anyone but Collins (and that would have other type of costs) is quite big.

Which players are worse?

Samanic for certain
He has more potential than yurtseven.
Definitely better than Potter or Juzang.
Kira Lewis

The biggest problem with Poku is he hasn't gotten better from season to season. He might just be one of those guys from Europe that plays basketball because he was tall. Doesn't love the game and put effort into improving in the offseason. (Pure speculation but my guess)

Other thin is we do see a lot of bigs develop slower. He could be a late bloomer. Doesn't hurt to sign him for a minimum contract redt of the year.
